Advances in Speech Technology Rely on the Need for Hands-free Computing.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c49236) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report: Advances in Speech Technology (Technical Insights) to their offering. This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Advances in Speech Technology provides an overview of the developments in speech technologies and products, a complete analysis of key accelerating factors, competitive challenges, and market/technological trends that are impacting technology adoption in the speech industry. The study also analyzes the gaps in the offerings of current market leaders, identifying market potential for future product development and vendor competition. In this study, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: automatic speech recognition, speech synthesis speech synthesis Generation of speech by artificial means, usually by computer. Production of sound to simulate human speech is referred to as low-level synthesis. High-level synthesis deals with the conversion of written text or symbols into an abstract representation of (text-to-speech), voice biometrics and natural language understanding as applicable to multimodal Two or more modes of operation. The term is used to refer to a myriad of functions and conditions in which two or more different methods, processes or forms of delivery are used. On the Web, it refers to asking for something one way and receiving the answer another; for example requesting interfaces. Market Sectors Expert analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: -Communication and IT -Electronics -Defense and security Technologies The following technologies are covered in this research: -Automatic speech recognition (ASR) -Text-to-Speech (TTS) -Multimodal interfaces -ASR/TTS/Multimodal interfaces -Voice biometrics Market Overview Growing Demand for Mobile Information Services See Information Systems. Drives Advances in Speech Technology "Industry leaders such as IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) and Siemens are catering to the growth in mobile information services, through intelligent systems for smart homes and vehicle navigation See GPS and vehicle tracking. as people increasingly demand access to information on the go," according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the analyst of this study. "Advances in the underlying technologies for speech recognition and synthesis indicate that human-machine interactions are approaching the ideal of natural unstructured conversational speech with the only barrier being a more pervasive and unifying design for user interfaces." The rapid proliferation proliferation /pro·lif·er·a·tion/ (pro-lif?er-a´shun) the reproduction or multiplication of similar forms, especially of cells.prolif´erativeprolif´erous pro·lif·er·a·tion n. of voice over Internet protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (VoIP)-based applications has spawned the growth of mobile information services. Speech technologies in turn are witnessing increased adoption by mobile service providers and telecommunication operators, mainly due to the availability of large vocabulary continuous speech recognition systems on small footprint devices. Advances in Speech Technology Relies on the Need for Hands-free Computing Hands-free computing is a term used to describe configuration of computers so that they can be used by persons without the use of the hands interfacing with commonly used human interface devices such as the mouse and keyboard. Voice control that enables hands-free computing is the driving force behind the technology adoption for speech technologies. However, the development of natural language automatic speech recognition needs to be addressed with a view to extending accurate speech recognition to any application that favors hands-free computing, potentially involving any theme or subject matter. "The global market poses additional challenges for software developers that focus on conversational speech as each language is a difficult proposition on its own," explains the analyst. "As a result, affordable and innovative hands-free computing that mimics human communication skills in business applications holds the key to the success of speech and speech-enabled solution vendors."
